The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/khugepaged: invoke MMU notifiers in shmem/file collapse paths
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-khugepaged-invoke-mmu-notifiers-in-shmem-file-collapse-paths.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/khugepaged: invoke MMU notifiers in shmem/file collapse paths
Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2022 22:37:14 +0100

Any codepath that zaps page table entries must invoke MMU notifiers to
ensure that secondary MMUs (like KVM) don't keep accessing pages which
aren't mapped anymore.  Secondary MMUs don't hold their own references to
pages that are mirrored over, so failing to notify them can lead to page
use-after-free.

I'm marking this as addressing an issue introduced in commit f3f0e1d2150b
("khugepaged: add support of collapse for tmpfs/shmem pages"), but most of
the security impact of this only came in commit 27e1f8273113 ("khugepaged:
enable collapse pmd for pte-mapped THP"), which actually omitted flushes
for the removal of present PTEs, not just for the removal of empty page
tables.
